The invention provides a conjugate comprising (i) a nucleic acid which is complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence and which expression prevents or reduces expression of the target nucleic acid and (ii) a selectivity agent which is capable of binding with high affinity to a neurotransmitter transporter. The conjugates of the present invention are useful for the delivery of the nucleuc acid toi cell of interests and thus, for the treatment of diseases which require a down-regulation of the protein encoded by the target nucleic acid as well as for the delivery of contrast agents to the cells for diagnostic purposes.

The invention provides a conjugate comprising (i) a selectivity agent which binds specifically to one or more neurotransmitter transporters selected from the group consisting of a dopamine transporter (DAT), serotonin transporter (SERT) or a norepinephrine transporter (NET) and (ii) a nucleic acid capable of specifically binding to a target molecule which is expressed in the same cell as the neurotransmitter transporter wherein said target molecule is α-synuclein or the mRNA encoding α-synuclein. The conjugates of the present invention are useful for the delivery of the nucleic acid to a cell of interest and thus, for the treatment of diseases which require a down-regulation of the protein encoded by the target nucleic acid as well as for the delivery of imaging agents to the cells for diagnostic purposes.
A composition for the treatment of emesis comprising 8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)tetralin in which the ratio of the S enantiomer of the 8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)tetralin to the R enantiomer of the 8-hydroxy-2-(dipropylamino)tetralin is between 2:1 and 10:1, and a method of treating or preventing emesis with such a composition.
